Product Detail & Benefits

Description:

Every three tablets of Perpetuem Solids contain 100 calories, theyre super easy to chew and consume, they wont go bad no matter what the weather, and theyre a complete and satisfying solid-food fuel source. You can use Perpetuem Solids with other Hammer Nutrition fuel source or, if desired, as a sole source of calories.

There are two caveats that need to be mentioned:

Perpetuem Solids are not meant to be dissolved in water. Just chew, swallow, and wash them down with water or any liquid Hammer Nutrition fuel.

Although the tablets break apart very easily in the mouth, people with dentures or delicate teeth should use caution when using Perpetuem Solids.

Benefits:

Available in three flavors: Caffé Latte, Orange-Vanilla, and Strawberry-Vanilla.

These easy-to-digest tablets contain the same effective, time-proven ingredients as Perpetuem in the powdered form. Of course, as is the case with all of the Hammer Nutrition fuels, there are no refined sugars and no artificial colors or sweeteners in Perpetuem Solids. Not designed to be dissolved in water, they are convenient and, perhaps best of all, they dont have a time limit on palatability or stability; Perpetuem in the powdered form, when mixed into solution, must be consumed within 3-5 hours.

Perpetuem Solids can be used for workouts and races of any duration, but theyre primarily designed to augment the use of other Hammer Nutrition fuels during those lasting more than two hours. Perpetuem Solids are especially beneficial for longer-duration workouts and races, when high-quality, solid food is desired and when carrying premixed bottles of powdered Perpetuem may not be practical. As an example, Perpetuem Solids are absolutely perfect for use during the run portion of a half or full iron distance triathlon, or at any time during an ultra running race.

Extra Benefits: Carnosine, one of the ingredients in Perpetuem (it's also in HEED, Sustained Energy, and Recoverite), is both a performance aid (a superb lactic acid buffer) and a premium general health nutrient (multiple free-radical scavenging and anti-glycation antioxidant).

Perpetuem powder in multiple flavors is available on the Perpetuem page.

Better option than in bottle used already in raceI tried the powder and although it is tasty and seemed to work, it limits the options of having fizz only or water only in your bottles. during a race, it is not practical to stop and mix after two hours, so this tablet was easy, I pulled it out of my back jersey pocket and ate it. Yes, as the other reviews state, you need water to get it all down but I didn't really find it chaulky as it is dense, for good reason, and kind of tasted like a really big vitiman C chewable. The orange is really good, I recommend it over the strawberry.

Kept me going for 16 mile OCR in VermontI used them as my fuel in the Vermont Spartan Beast World Championship ( a bit pretentious I know), on 9/20/14. It took me 10 hours, 8 minutes to do all 16 miles, and it was brutal beyond anything I ever did before, but starting at hour 2, I went to 6 solids per hour, and 2 Endurolites, and aside from fried quads I did not really feel low on energy.
Now while they are somewhat tasty, and are super-efficient to carry in small ziplocks by the dozen, there is a trade-off. You need a little water to eat them as they are dry chews, and it is not like a liquid or a gel, one <slurp> and you're done, they take a while to chew one up and get it down, so figure was 15 minutes to eat 5-6.
Yes is a tradeoff, but for non-bike self supported long duration events they work.

Ultra Beast/Ultra Marathon fuel of choiceI've been using Perpetuem Solids for three years now during Spartan events, ultras and World's Toughest Mudder. Along with the solids I take Endurolytes, Anti-Fatigue Caps and Hammer gels (vanilla). This fuel plan works very well for me. I prefer the Caffe Latte flavor. I don't drink coffee pre-race so that little caffeine kick helps. The solids take a few minutes to break up and chew, but I notice a change in energy and a fullness very quickly. Settles very well. 12 hours in to any event, fueling gets challenging, but I don't dread taking these because I know they'll do the trick. Just drink lots of water.

Good fuel to change the pace from gelsThe taste is actually surprisingly good I think. They seem chalky at first, but quickly turn into a chewy texture and a nice chance from gel, particularly on very long runs or bikes. I can actually take two at a time about a minute part with no problem. The only reason I didn't give the product five stars is because there is no information with the product about how much water to consume with it. Most fuels have a suggested water intake but these do not. Not sure why, so I am still trying to figure out how much water to take. This is a work in progress.

Calories with a KickI have been using Perpetuem Solids for over a year and like the Caffe Latte flavor best and I like the fact that it has caffeine. I prefer the kick for the longer rides I do and have no issues with caffeine affecting my systems. I hear from a lot of people that the solids "are hard to get down", but this is simply not my finding. I love that I don't need an extra bottle and the size is perfect for my jersey pocket. I always use plenty of liquid, but find the consistency of the tablet easily chewable and not chalky. Most of my friends that have tried Caffe Latte really like the flavor. Great product!

Perfect for Travel, but...Solids are fantastic, but all the flavours taste like chalk. That being said, the Liquid Perpetuem takes up a water bottle, and it is not a thirst quencher and tastes like paste. So I have developed the discipline of chewing the tablet and then washing down with Heed. Despite the the aftertaste I notice it when I do not take perpetuem on my longer rides.
They are perfect for Travel, I work out of town and allowed to take my bike with me, so being able to pack a several of the 6 count tubes is a lot easier than packing up the powders.

Love this product!I have been curious about this product after reading reviews that this product had a chalky consistency that was sometimes difficult to use. I found this product to be absolutely amazing! It was not chalky at all - and had a very smooth consistency. It was not difficult to chew and tasted great. I used this product every hour during a 20 mile training run with my Hammer Gels and it was great. I can't believe I waited so long to try this product. Another amazing product by an amazing company. Thank you Hammer Nutrition!

Works as well as liquid, Cafe tastes staleWorks as well as the liquid, much easier to carry on long rides. I have yet to use it on a brevet without bottles of liquefied powdered Perpetuem, but it has done the job on Metrics and Centuries.Similar to the powder, the solids do not bother my stomach like some competitive products.
Orange flavor tastes OK, the Cafe flavor tastes stale to me. Wish the bottles had an expiration date which can be easily read.
It is a little chalky - but not too much.
Would not recommend to someone with teeth issues as it can get caught in your teeth..
The 6 piece carry container has some sharper edges which concern me when I wear a wool jersey.
It is annoying that the 6 piece carry container is on the bottom of the package - you need to empty the package to get to the container.
